Sickness Absence Management for Sheffield, covered

Long or repeated sickness absence is costly and, handled badly, risky, for the employee and for you. We help employers manage it properly: an impartial clinical assessment of what is actually going on, what support or adjustments might help, and a realistic view on return-to-work timescales.

We arrange appointments for Sickness Absence Management across Sheffield and the wider South Yorkshire area, including Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Chesterfield. On-site visits for employers can also be arranged for teams based in Sheffield.

Who this is for

  • HR teams managing an employee with frequent short-term absence
  • Employers needing an impartial view on a long-term sickness case
  • Managers planning a phased or supported return to work
  • Organisations needing a consistent, fair process for absence cases

What's included

Each referral includes a full occupational and clinical history, assessment of the condition against the employee's role and duties, and a written report covering fitness for work, likely absence duration, recommended adjustments and a return-to-work plan where appropriate. Reports are written to be genuinely usable by HR and line managers, not just filed away.

Questions

Sickness Absence Management in Sheffield, FAQs.

When should we refer someone for sickness absence management?
Typically after a defined period of absence (often 4 weeks, or per your policy), a pattern of frequent short-term absence, or whenever you need an impartial clinical view before making a decision.
Will the report tell us what's medically wrong with the employee?
No. The report focuses on fitness for work, capability and recommendations. Your employee's full diagnosis remains confidential unless they choose to share it.
Can you help with a phased return to work?
Yes, we provide practical, time-bound phased return recommendations tailored to the role and the individual's recovery.
Is this different to a management referral under OH Assessments & Referrals?
It is closely related. This service focuses specifically on active sickness absence cases, while OH Assessments & Referrals also covers fitness-for-role and ill-health retirement questions outside of absence.
